Re: Parodies You've Made 3.0

Nothing finished yet, but just wanted to inform my fellow WOWAY-ers that I've been working on a rap album all about birds and birding, which will consist of a mix of parodies and originals, sporadically over the last few years. No, I'm not a musician, just a lyricist, but the concept just came to me a while back (comedy by juxtaposition, you know), and hopefully sometime soon (but not too soon), I'll post some lyrics for everyone's enjoyment. It's been a long while since I've written and posted a fully completed parody, and I'm looking forward to sharing one or more of them one of these days. In the meantime, everybody hang tight, I guess.

("Hang tight?" Did I suddenly enter a time warp back to the nineties? Whatever.)

This has a lot of potential. Can you say what songs you are parodying, or do we have to look at the tracklist and guess first? Will there be a polka??? :cat:

So far, the only songs that are definitely being parodied are 2Pac's "California Love" and Fort Minor's "Remember The Name", with Geto Boys' "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" also likely. All have been at least somewhat completed, but as you can imagine, writing lyrics specific to birding culture is something of a challenge. But when they are finished, they'll be posted here first.

Here's a koosh parody called Whatever Color You Like

In case you'd like to sing along.


Koosh in hand. The strands feel nice.
We can throw kooshballs all night.
Babe, they got whatever color you like.
Say they got whatever color you like.

Mondo koosh, so big so bright
I’ll save a rubber strand for you tonight and it can be whatever color you like
Babe, I’ll give ya whatever color you like.

Anytime you time you want to borrow my kooshball you
Know it aint nothing pull a couple strands off it
If you want it you can throw it my dear
At the ceiling tiles I swear.

Cuz I want your kooshy, I need your kooshy
Long as you got me you don’t need no kooshy
You throw it, I pluck it, you taste it, I smurf it
Don’t knock kooshball love til you try it.

Koosh in hand. The strands feel nice.
We can throw kooshballs all night.
Babe, they got whatever color you like.
Say they got whatever color you like.

Mondo koosh, so big so bright
I’ll save a rubber strand for you tonight and it can be whatever color you like
Babe, I’ll give ya whatever color you like.

Shawty you the hottest. Love the way you drop it.
Koosh so good could’ve sworn that it was God-made
2k strings hang off it. Named after the sound it makes.
And everybody knows the fools at Hasbro bought it.
You aint never ever gotta go in your wallet
Long as I got rubber band strands in my pocket.
5 6 balls with packing peanuts and a koosh bed
And when you got some downtime, you should call the hotline.
My chick can have whatever she want
Go on ebay and grab any koosh she wants.
You aint never ever seen a koosh thats big like that
I’m talking bout that Mondo kooshball I got in my pant

Cuz I want your kooshy, I need your kooshy
Long as you got me you don’t need no kooshy
You throw it, I pluck it, you taste it, I smurf it
Don’t knock kooshball love til you try it.

Koosh in hand. The strands feel nice.

:great: Great Koosh parody, Drew!! I would love to hear other Koosh parodies if anyone else has written any...


Anyway check out this hook I wrote based on the part of Thrift Shop that's in the polka:

I'm gonna pop some tarts
Only got strawberry but they're frosted
I, I.. I'm hungry, looking for a Pop Tart
Wish we had brown sugar!

:ttr:

Since I have a microphone now, I've decided to record the parodies and originals I've written over the past five years.

To start things out, here's Twitter:

How old was that last signature? I mean, really?

Here's my first new parody in three years.

Image

Mockingjay
Parody of "Pompeii" by Bastille

I was just trying to survive
When the hovercraft came and took me away

And the bombs kept firing down
On the district that I love
Just to show us what the
Capitol is capable of

But I'm still gonna fight
Because that's who I am
Katniss Everdeen

That's right, I'm gonna fight
Be the girl on fire
Panem's only hope
Yeah, I'm gonna be the Mockingjay, you know it
Yeah, I'm gonna be the Mockingjay, you know it

We were fed up and wanted a revolution
They responded with utter devastation

And the bombs kept firing down
On the district that I love
Just to show us what the
Capitol is capable of

But I'm still gonna fight
Because that's who I am
Katniss Everdeen

That's right, I'm gonna fight
Be the girl on fire
Panem's only hope
Yeah, I'm gonna be the Mockingjay, you know it
Yeah, I'm gonna be the Mockingjay, you know it

Which hot guy do I choose?
They both have their issues
Oh, which hot guy do I choose?
I'll wait until Part 2

And the bombs kept firing down
On the district that I love
Just to show us what the
Capitol is capable of

But I'm still gonna fight
Because that's who I am
Katniss Everdeen

That's right, I'm gonna fight
Be the girl on fire
Panem's only hope
Yeah, I'm gonna be the Mockingjay, you know it
Yeah, I'm gonna be the Mockingjay, you know it

I'm still gonna fight
Because that's who I am
Katniss Everdeen
